There is no real height dimensions, but as common measurement for tub installation only.

30-32" from floor to center valve body
6" from bottom end of valve body to centre of spout
Shower head 90 between 76"-80" from floor to center (depending on the height of the individual using the shower) It may vary. Some folks, are vertically challanged (such as myself) and some folks are over 6' tall

Are you a "little person", average height, or an NBA center? There are no "generic" heights. It depends on the user and the usage. If you always use it for bathing then the valve will be lower butwhen used mainly for showers it will be higher so you can easily adjust the flow and temperature without getting down on the floor to do it. In other words, put it where you will be comfortable with it.

What is Average these days.....15 year olds are 6'3 it seems Haha

The Tallest person using the Shower would be 5"7

I figure I will do a Few Trial Runs and sit in the tub etc...and just keep moving the Valve Down to where we are happy

I'm shocked at how much of the 2x4 block that is gone,I hope there is enough support.

Those Male Thread fittings I need,just hope they don't leak

Also I didn't get any screws with the cover but two holes are threaded and the other two are not

On a Side Not(HJ) Have you installed many Taymor sets and what has the reliability been.

Thank you

I just put the Backer block at 36",I will see how that goes and just move down to those numbers you have given.

Think down the road for the resell of your home. While we were looking at houses it was touch and go finding a shower where my husband didn't have to hunch over to use it. Same with beds for him even the longest bed his feet would hang over. We had to build a shower in the basement that he could comfortably use. My youngest son has the same problem, tall & thin. It was very frustrating. Remember too, each generation is getting taller.

The threaded holes are probably for the machined face plate screws that are supposed to come with the unit. The size if the mounting screws would depend on your set up and how you plan your blocking, so that will vary. what ever fits.

I personally use 30" valve body centre from floor. I find most average size folks feel comfortable with that height.. Once you have the valve body secured, then you can measure your spout and shower head from your valve body.

Personally, I like my showerhead up very high. To accommodate different people, I chose a handheld on an adjustable bar. Some of those are a joke, some are as good as a standard showerhead. I installed the bar so I can have the head right at the ceiling, but it can be lowered to accommodate a small child. If it is a standalone shower, I tend to stand in the shower and reach out to find a comfortable position to adjust the valve, then put it there. I tend to go at the low end of my comfort zone, since I'm tall, to enable others to reach easily.

Unless you are planning to sell your home in the near-term, put these things where YOU want them, and don't worry about resale. As long as you don't do something silly like put the valve on the ceiling, as long as it can be reached, it won't be a major problem and, if you have lived there for a long time, the new owners will probably want to remodel, and then can put it where they want. A minor inconvenience in the interim may not be worth the aggravation of it not being 'right' for a long time for you.
